now here is something ya may want to check . But this will requier you to remove the soft plug on the block on that side where the most heat is. You MAY find that that block did not get all the casting sand shaken out of it when the engine was cast . Way back many moons ago when i was working a Chrysler Plymouth dealeship we ran into a bunch of over heating problems and tryed everything even my owen Duster 340 would run hot when it got over 60 degrees outside and i mean hot . After doing everything and even bring in the factory rep. we came up empty handed , Till one day for what ever reason i was determend to cure this problem on my Duster and i pulled one of the rear soft plugs out and the back half of the block on both sides were full of MUD . it took a bunch of diggen flushen and lots of compressed air but we got it cleaned out and never had problems after that . After that anybody that came in with and over heating problem that was the firsat place that we would go and 99% of the time this was the problem . Now not sayen this is yours but for the price of a soft plug it would be worthe while to look into this.
